My Words

As parents you are the vessel to bring your children into the world and their caretakers until they can care for themselves. You can teach them, love them, support them and do everything possible to ensure they turn out to be outstanding individuals, but you can’t change them or change what they want in life. They are unique souls who must live their own lives and ultimately follow their own paths. Let them.​What they do or say is a reflection of who they are; not you. The greatest gift we give our children is the freedom and support in being who they are, without conditions, guilt, or punishment. Just pure unconditional love and acceptance. God does not promise tomorrow and I guarantee if something were to happen to you or them, the matters stressed over now would be completely unimportant. Take some time to think about what really matters most. Trust the process. ~Will "Story" Rivera
